Administration W as Student Recounts Police Harassment Present At JRW

Dear Editor: Dear Editor: I've read the articles that have appeared in The Cowl. I've listened to other people's incidents. But I am writing regarding Brendan Curran's article, now it happened to me...I was harassed by a police officer, and very unjustly I might add! "Administration Must Help Bring Back PC Pride" (Nov. 21). On Sunday morning, at 1 a.m. on Nov. 17, my roommate and I were walking home, to our When writing in a public forum it is very important to have your apartment on campus, by way of Eaton St. As we came to the intersection of Eaton and Huxley there facts accurate. Brendan chose to reprimand tne PC administration was not a car in sight except for a police car stopped at the red light on Huxley. My roommate and I for the lack of presence at this year's JRW events. We must have proceeded to cross through the intersection once we realized that we had the green light in our missed you at the Thursday evening Mass which featured Fr. direction and that the car was at a complete stop. As we were halfway through the intersection, the Cunningham as the homilist, Fr. McPhail who helped bless the police car "gunned" it through the light and came within five feet of hitting us! Needless to say, with rings, and Fr. Dabash who was the Principal Celebrant. In addition, the shock of almost being hit, my mouth dropped in awe. I looked up at the light to make sure that I there were another six to eight Dominicans concelebrating who had the right-of-way, glared at the police officer, and then continual on my way. What this officer then helped to distribute the class rings. didn't realize was that I would have glared if it was a PC student or an old lady behind the wheel...it On Saturday evening I had a delightful conversation with had nothing to do with the fact that this man was in a police uniform! At any rate, in the middle of the Kathleen Ley and next year's JRW co-cnairs during the dinner/ intersection, the officer got out of his car and asked me what my problem was. I responded that my dance in Boston. Present were Fr. McPhail, Brother Kevin, Fr. problem was that he had almost hit us and that I thought that we had the right-of-way to cross the street Folsey, Fr.

We made the effort to arrive early so that we could it, the officer had backed up, accelerated, and cornered my roommate and I on the sidewalk on the circulate and visit with many of the juniors and their dates. wrong side of the street! Then, the next thing we knew, a second car backed him up! (Keep in mind Unfortunately, the noise level was so loud that Fr. Dabash's that my roommate and I were completely sober - thank goodness). The officer rolled down his window blessing before dinner was heard at least by God and the band. If and told me that he thought I had an attitude problem. I told him that I didn't think I was the one with an opening speech had been requested by the JRW Committee I the attitude problem; I simply thought thatit was safe to cross the street. He then asked me for my name am confident that a member of the administration would have and said that the reason he went through the light was because he had just received a call but didn't obliged. have time to turn on his lights. Yet, he had the time to verbally harass me, and a second car had the No doubt you are aware that these events are student events. time to back him up!

I am glad you want us there. However, I believe other officer was looking to cause problems. He took an action of his doing and turned it into my fault! administrators may be like myself - we will take a back seat, act Instead of working together with the PC students as allies, the police have made us their enemies, as like guests, enjoy ourselves, and leave the leadership to those exemplified by their defensive, unjust behavior.

Sincerely, Pro-Choice, Not Pro-Abortion Rev. Joseph Tortorici, O.P.

Dear Editor: The other day, I was walking through campus and I heard someone talking about, "Those pro­ You Can Save A Life! abortion activists." This raised in my mind one of the most volatile debates of our culture: pro-life vs. pro-choice. First, I'd like to clarify some of the misconceptions about the pro-choice movement. Terms like "pro-abortion," and "anti-life" do not indicate how most of us feel. I think that abortion is a horrifying Dear Editor: thing. No one I am involved with will ever have one, if I have anything to say about it. That does not I am writing this letter in hopes of finding a donor who could mean, however, that a woman should not have the right to choose. That is why the term is pro-choice, save the life ofmy my friend, Anne Luizzi. Anne, a 1991 Brockton not pro-abortion. It is the right for a woman to choose how to use her own body, a right which should High School graduate and currently a freshman at the Boston be allowed. This may make me a non-Catholic, but I'll take a chance. College School of Nursing, was diagnosed last spring as having The pro-life position is that abortion is murder, the murder of an unborn child. The term pro-life chronic myelocytic leukemia. The only cure is a bone marrow is synonymous with anti-choice. It is their position that a woman should not be allowed to choose transplant from a healthy, living donor. A very successful donor whether or not she should have an abortion.
